Pico Toning in Dongseong-ro, Daegu
Whole-face picosecond laser at gentle settings, used over a course to fade pigment and brighten an uneven or dull complexion.
What is Pico Toning?
Toning is a way of using a laser, not a brand name. Instead of hitting individual spots hard, the doctor makes several even, low-energy passes over the whole face with a picosecond laser, which suits dull tone, freckles and skin prone to melasma.
How it works
A picosecond is one trillionth of a second. Pulses this short break pigment apart with a pressure wave rather than by heating it, so the surrounding skin stays cooler, and the body clears the fragments over the following weeks. Because each session is mild, sessions can be repeated at short intervals, which is how tone evens out without much irritation. The Daegu clinic chooses between PicoPlus, ITS PICO and PicoWay.
